DONATE now through IdahoGives!

Catholic Charities of Idaho joins many nonprofits in celebrating Idaho Gives! It's a time when we work together to embrace those in need and keep Idaho strong.

IDAHO GIVES:
Idaho state's day of giving - an opportunity to unite our community around causes in which we truly believe and help nonprofit organizations connect to the larger community.

At Catholic Charities, we believe in the power of a giving embrace. Through your support in 2020, your embrace brought counseling services to 252 people suffering from pandemic isolation, depression, and anxiety. When no one else was there, 108 newcomers found critically needed immigration representation and support. As our economy tottered and housing and employment evaporated, 100 families experienced the ministry and caring support of our skilled social workers. More than 1,700 persons received rapid response assistance services when it mattered most; over 400 people received financial wellness and parenting education instruction that equipped them to manage and thrive; and 615 families received gift and clothing resources.

Please make your gift today. No matter how large or small, your contribution will change lives.

Salvador Carranza, Director of Hispanic Ministry, Diocese of Boise

"I think that one of the ways Catholic Charities is really sharing the journey with people is the willingness to walk into the messiness of their lives. To be able to accompany them wherever they're at.

To not necessarily say, you come to us but we will go to you ... to address their needs based on their individuality ... to give each person the dignity of treating them as individuals rather than as a number or as a case file ... to get to know these people and to care for them on many levels, for them to be there in whatever capacity these people need ... that takes a lot of work, that takes a lot of energy, but the fruits that come of that ... as people find a new hope by these people partnering with them, walking with them and sharing their journey with them."

"The scripture is quite clear how we are supposed to treat the foreigners within our gates. When God has put them in the same place as orphans and widows, we realize it has a high priority to God. And the vast majority of our labor force is foreign born (85-90%). Historically that has been Hispanic labor ... you have to value the as individuals, you have to understand them, and you have to give them the opportunity to understand you. If we as churches are going to have influence on those individuals that are coming, it has to be by reaching out and giving them a Christ-like hug and assisting them in going forward.

If you look at Catholic Charities as a whole, it's fulfilling scripture, but it's also giving us -- those in a pew -- a chance to live up to what we're supposed to live up to. Whether we are doing it by supporting them financially or whether we're doing it by immersing ourselves and getting involved ."

Bob Naerebout, Idaho Dairymen's Association, Governmental Affairs Director

Very Reverend Camilo Garcia Delgado, Pastor, Corpus Christi Parish

"So we are workers, in His vineyard. And any work that you do at Idaho Catholic Charities has an effect in the lives of people. Each person is a gift from God, as Pope Francis says quite often, my neighbor is a gift from God to me.

Pope Francis in different ways, shows us the way, how to show solidarity with one another, to have tolerance, but always to see the face of Christ. So for those who help Idaho Catholic Charities, you are doing the work of God ."
